Why do companies give typing tests? I thought that went out with the

are ridiculous!! I want so bad to tell them I am not a doctor! They expect me to know things that there is no way to know!! I just got another one of those tests. Very tempting to tell them what they can do with that test! They could pay me $100 an hour and I MIGHT try it! Wow!! Just wow! Was going to insert a mad smiley here, but they are not working. ...

Ran across this on Internet. Interesting. Section 179 Tax Code-2011 Expires Section 179 has been extended to 2011 and made BIGGER! Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying Software/Equipment purchased or leased during the tax year. That means that, if you buy (or lease) a piece of qualifying equipment, you can deduct the FULL PURCHASE PRICE from your gross income. Cost of the Equipment/Software: $150,000Section 179 Depreciat ...

I have over 15+ years experience but stopped working in November of 2010 to be at home with my two young boys and give them my full attention. Now that they are both in school, I am wanting to start back typing again. I have looked on several sites but mostly all I find is VR or SR jobs, which I despise.

I've given VR a fair shot for close to a year now, but I still type much faster than I edit, so I've lost quite a bit of money since my account went to VR last year. I know that VR is almost everywhere these days, but does anyone know of any decent companies that still have straight typing and are actually hiring right now? I'm looking for acute care and I really don't care if it's IC or employee status at this point. I just want to do regular transcrip ...

I personally, am getting really tired of the posts regarding "who is the best company to work for, who offers straight tying as ooposed t to VR etc. I now worK for a company that is straight typing only and pays weekly. and pays a decent wage. I have also talked to MTSOs within the last 2 months, that REFUSE t0 d0 VR, and the hospitals have agreed not to do VR. What may be a "good fit" for one person, is not going to be a good fit for another. I&nb ...

Applying for a new job is a job in and of itself these days. Is anyone else having this ?? All these tests on these job applications. They are sometimes hours long. Some of these test reports are HARD. They are harder than most I do now. I work for MW now. I don't really have time to go through all these tests for hours and hours for FREE. I'm thinking of just not doing it and forgetting about that particular application. One of them I really was interested in too but what if I do all ...

I have a dictator who dictates the same thing every time and it is fairly clear, but I can't verify it despite looking at a lot of ocular testing sites. I'm hoping someone here can tell me if I am understanding it correctly. This is in the context of saccadic eye movements, gaze-hold nystagmus, VOR to slow head movements, VOR to rapid head movements, vergence. It sounds like, "times 1 viewing" followed by "not tested," but once it was followed by "Patient saw mul ...

Why in the heck don't employers give you at least some basic instructions for a transcription test? Some want you to format, others don't. Some want you to edit punctuation, etc., others want you to transcribe verbatim. It's very frustrating because they all seem to want something different, yet most don't bother to give instructions. It's like they expect us to be mindreaders! ...

I got an invitation to test for a transcription company. This company does not do any doctor's notes, but they do other medical type work such as meetings, etc. On their site they have 3 tests and you can do all or as many as you feel comfortable doing. I downloaded one of the tests to check it out and it is almost 30 minutes long. I am ambivilent about taking such a long test with no compensation just for them to decide if I can do the work. What do you people ...

I am so depressed. I guess I am trying to vent to you guys. I have taken 4 tests for companies and failed all of them. I didnt even get an answer back from one. I have been doing this for years. I feel like a dummy. I dont think there are any good companies out there that any one of us can trust. I havent found one.
